ZAFIROS: MUSIC FROM THE EDGE OF TIME, LOS

Description: A musical phenomenon in 1960’s Cuba, Los Zafiros’ brilliant mix of American-inspired Doo-Wop and traditional Latin forms caused an international sensation. “Music from the Edge of Time” explores the memories of Manuel Galban and Miguel Cancio, the two surviving members of Los Zafiros, as they are reunited in Havana. The film also features the perspectives of numerous Zafiros family members in Miami and Havana, international musicologists, and musical colleagues of the group. In evoking the Cuban post-revolutionary epoch of the 1960’s, this feature-length documentary presents a vivid, moving, and balanced portrait of the remarkable musical success story that was Los Zafiros.
